"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I think you had the right idea but didn't say it the right way.

For example you could have it it like this: "Yeah I've been close with a few girls, but not to the point where I really considered it serious enough. Some people might have said we were bf & gf, but I just didn't really feel it."

That pretty much ends that question dead in its tracks and leaves her wondering more about you. It makes you seem a little mysterious and does not give away too much information.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I dont think you should go in depth about anything of your past life, specifically if you have to use so much words just to give her an unclear answer. She didnt ask for a book thick repsonse.

next time she asks just respond: "The number of stars in the sky."

Tons of guys out there exaggerate and lie about many things, jokingly or not. But in the end its how the woman interprets it.

example: today i went out to lunch and came back. then the recpetionist goes "screwit you went out? i didnt see you leave"
me: yea
her: where did you go?
me: walking around the park (actually i was just at lunch)
her: shame on you, dumping one girl and picking up another. (she thinks im a player for some reason)
me: of course....! you know me all too well.
her: *giggling*

It's all about conversation play. Nobody likes a boring conversationist.....add some life to your responses, twist it a little. There's no law saying you have to be honest.
